I have them up at the store
http://www.rx7store.net/index.asp?Pa...ROD&ProdID=864
I have sold 2 of the 4 I have coming in, so place your order now if you want one. They will then be on backorder for a few weeks.

Installation looks ridiculously easy. Click on the FD3S application link for the manual, pics, etc. of the unit. There's 2 struts - one on either side. It attaches to an unused hole on the fender and one of the hood hinge bolts. My only beef would be the damper is Tein's green color, which is a little obnoxious, but at least it's a top-quality product.

another question (not so related to this).... but my REAR struts really suck, and i need some stronger ones to open my hatch with a 99 wing. anyone know of any STRONG aftermarket units which would do the job?? i guess i could always order the 99 spec trunk openers... but id need a source to order them from, and im sure they would be extreemly expensive

Almost seems that I found the rear hatch struts in the application catalog at *Pep Boys* of all places. I think they're pretty non-special.
Might be worth checking with some local parts sources and see if they can get something. Probably would be worth trying - new ones would definitely work better than 10 year old ones.

I still havent recieved mine. I thought he had them in stock but I came to find out they were not expected for another week and now another week delay has become present. 
Not as if I can make much use of them at this point with my car sitting on jackstands.
Cant wait to see them though, hopefully I can get my car going within the next two weeks and get to install them right about the same time.

Check out rotary extreme. Chuck has made some too. His struts are black and the mounting points are a little more heacy duty. I even think they are cheaper for a set.
